"Wh... What... ha...p…?"
Xue Tianao stared at the bloody hole in his chest, feeling the life force steadily draining from his body, His eyes were filled with disbelief and despair.
’I, the Chosen One, the hero, the one destined by fate, how could I... Die like this?’
But before Xue Tianao could fully comprehend the reality, the black-haired girl in front of him slowly raised her hand and snapped her fingers, under his desperate gaze.
In the next mont, the bloody-colored butterflies sward once again, greedily devouring Xue Tianao’s flesh.
the blood butterflies had been nibbling at him all along, but the divine power had allowed his body to regenerate quickly. But now, devoid of that mighty regenerative ability, Xue Tianao’s flesh was being devoured by the bloody butterflies at a visible speed...
"Ahhhhhh!"
Without the protection of divine power, the pain Xue Tianao experienced was beyond comparison.
He let out agonizing screams that tore through his heart, but soon even those desperate cries ceased, as the bloody butterflies swallowed his tongue.
Not just his tongue, but every part of Xue Tianao’s body was rapidly consud. In an instant, the once majestic and handso Male Lead beca a crimson skeleton, crumbling under the devouring of the bloody butterflies. Even the skeleton vanished under their relentless assault.
As Xue Tianao’s consciousness faded into darkness, overwheld by despair, panic, regret, and fear, his final piece of skull turned to ashes.
Finally, The butterflies returned to float around Yumo once again.
The countless bloody butterflies that filled the air disintegrated one by one, transforming into crimson particles that dispersed with the wind.
The horrifying presence of the oppressive Abyssal Shadow power, which had caused countless people to tremble in fear throughout the imperial capital, dissipated, releasing them from its suffocating grip.
The remnants of the violent crimson power surged up into the sky, dispersing the thick smoke that had shrouded the heavens, obscuring the sun.
One hour after the Abyssal Beasts launched their all-out attack, the radiant sunlight once again bathed the land under the sky.
However, the current SkyDo lacked the prosperity and beauty it had just an hour ago. The entire city was enveloped in a sea of negative emotions, fear, and despair.
The streets were filled with ruins, scattered body parts, and the corpses of both the city guards and the Abyssal Demons. The raging fires that burned from all directions created a scene akin to a hellish tableau.
The once glorious empire’s capital was now nothing but ruins...
...
And with the disappearance of the golden divine power and Xue Tianao’s Died,
Yumo’s surroundings finally returned to normal. Along with it, Yumo’s inner world regained its tranquility as well.
After the repugnant aura of intense divine power dissipated, the eerie whispers that had plagued Yumo’s mind ca to an abrupt halt. The strange darkness that enveloped her heart also dissipated.
The consciousness of slaughter and destruction that had once gripped her was no more, replaced by the resurgence of her rationality.
The bloodlust and cruelty in the black-haired girl’s eyes gradually gave way to familiarity, gentleness, and innocence. The terrifying Abyssal Demon girl who had casually extinguished Xue Tianao’s life returned to her harmless and adorable self.
However, in that mont of return, as Yumo gazed at the empty and open sky, she furrowed her brow suddenly. Her crimson eyes were filled with confusion.
"??"
"I..."
"I... What am I..."
’What am I doing??’
’where is the Chosen One? Didn’t that guy suddenly charge towards ? What happened to him?’
Yumo couldn’t help but ask.
As she pondered, the scenes that had just unfolded before her eyes played rapidly in her mind like a slideshow.
The gaps in her mory were instantly filled. And in that mont of mory completion, Yumo’s eyes widened.
"Huh?!"
"?!!"
"Huhhhhh?!!!!!!"
"I..."
"I..."
’I killed Xue Tianao?!’
’I... I... I killed the Chosen One?!!’
’This... this... this is... is this so kind of joke?! ’
’Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!’
At that mont, the black-haired girl couldn’t control herself and let out a mad roar within her mind.
She even unwillingly held her head with both hands. Her exquisitely crimson eyes trembled incessantly, filled with a helpless and frantic emotion.
"What... what have I... done..."
’Xue Tianao?’
To be honest, Yumo was deeply disgusted of him. The idea of completely defeating Xue Tianao had crossed her mind multiple tis.
However, regardless of her repulsion, Yumo had never actually chosen to end his life. After all, Xue Tianao held the role of the Male Lead, the supposed "hero" of their world.
If he were to perish, who would step up to confront the Abyssal Demons in the future? Was it enough to rely solely on ngxi?
Although Yumo was quite satisfied with ngxi’s strength and growth speed, relying solely on her would still be a fool’s dream to complete the trial and ultimately kill her.
[The cooperation of the protagonist group is essential to complete the trial. ]
Yumo has always believed this. Therefore, the fundantal purpose of the Abyssal Demons’ attack this ti is not to kill Xue Tianao but to utilize this significant failure to spur the Chosen One, enabling him to recognize the world’s cruelty, realize the importance of companions, and understand his own worth.
Through the protagonist’s trials and tribulations, he will mature in character. By overwhelming Xue Tianao with absolute power, he will be compelled to break through his own limits and reach the eighth Tier.
Of course, teaching Xue Tianao a lesson and venting personal grievances are also key reasons why Yumo approved of Xiao’s actions. However, what Yumo truly desires was just a lesson, not to utterly crush him.
"How... how... how did this happen?"
Yumo whispered with a shaky voice, overwheld by a feeling of helplessness in her heart.
The thought of accidentally killing the Male Lead, whom she had been eagerly waiting for over five hundred years, stirred up a whirlwind of emotions inside her.
After witnessing Limo and Liyu appear on the battlefield earlier, Yumo was worried that the two girls would lose control and kill the Male Lead.
And the result?
In the end, those two kids didn’t lose control and rather "obediently" let the Chosen One go…
And as for herself?
Unexpectedly...
If she had known, she wouldn’t have hurried over earlier
"…"
Regret filled the girl’s heart for a mont. Besides regret, Yumo also felt a wave of deep concern.
After all, with the absence of the Male Lead, wouldn’t the success rate of the trial decrease significantly? It might even have failed already. If that’s the case, what would happen...?
What is that so-called dreadful thing? What is it exactly?
"Ah, I’m so annoyed!"
Yumo repeatedly shook her head, expressing her frustration.
...
...
After a bout of head-banging "sobbing," the anguish and regret in Yumo’s heart gradually subsided.
The fact that Xue Tianao is already gone has beco an established reality, and no amount of regret can change that.
The Male lead has gone.
Unable to change it, one can only accept reality. Regret is aningless, so it’s ti to think about how to redy the situation...
With the absence of the Male lead, ngxi is the only person in the current world with divine power and the ability to complete the trial.
In other words, ngxi’s importance soars even higher...
’Now, if I still want to complete the trial, I must dedicate all my energy and resources to nurturing ngxi, the last remaining chosen one. After all, she is probably the last hope... Huh? Wait?! ngxi? Oh right! ngxi?! ’
When Yumo thought of ngxi, she suddenly realized a very serious issue.
’Was I out of control in front of ngxi just now? In other words... ’
"Did I use the power of Shadow in front of that girl?!"
’I, as the young lady of the Black Rose family, used Shadow Power in front of the chosen one? ’
’How am I going to explain this?!’
With that in mind, Yumo couldn’t help but hold her breath, and her Crimson red eyes trembled incessantly. Her heart was torn by a profound conflict...
’No, it’s not certain. The power that erupted just now was so powerful. Maybe it has already knocked ngxi unconscious’
With this thought, Yumo still couldn’t help but hold onto a glimr of hope.
Subsequently, the black-haired girl freed herself from her tangled thoughts and turned her sowhat trembling gaze behind her...
Unfortunately, reality proved that Yumo was overthinking. ngxi didn’t faint at all but sat silently on the ruins, looking quietly at Yumo.
the gazes of the two girls t...
"It’s... it’s over..."
Unconsciously, a cold sweat dripped down from Yumo’s forehead...
’How can I explain this to her... ’
